I am a Malay native speaker and proficient in English. My exposure to the two languages is not only from academic study and socializing; in my working life I have been exposed to analyzing English documents for reporting purposes in Malay, replying to official inquiries (which are in Malay), analyzing and adopting Malay language regulatory framework for internal strategy papers in English, and other professional and work related exposures.
I had my first degree in Accounting (Hons) from the Northern University of Malaysia (Universiti Utara Malaysia) in 1998. With more than a decade of experience in Tazation with a regulator, I pursued my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) specializing in Finance at the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) on a part-time basis and graduated in 2013. I followed through my career with a large Malaysian conglomerate dealing in the Palm Oil, and Property sectors. Throughout my career path, I have more than 18 years of experience ranging from corporate audit, tax audit and compliance, tax strategies, tax laws and regulations, and business dealings with business associates, clients, vendors and the authorities. During these phases, I have significantly gathered much experience, giving me a strong insight and an appreciation of the professional terms and linguistic peculiarities of the various industries. I am also a member of the Chartered Tax Institute of Malaysia (CTIM) and the Malaysian Institute of Accountants.
